The security situation in Timor-Leste has been generally calm, although a man has been shot in the leg in Ermera.

On Sunday in Ermera sub-district, UNPol received a report that a 24-year-old man was being treated in Gleno hospital for a gunshot wound to his leg. According to the victim, he and a friend were attacked by an unknown assailant on the night of 6 October. The wound is not serious, and the victim has been discharged. Police are investigating further.

Earlier today in Dili, UNPol attended seven incidents, including a gang fight on Banana Road. Reports indicate that the gang was planning to attack residents in the area, but the gang members fled upon the arrival of the police and the international security forces (ISF). Police also monitored a march by 50-70 students protesting against the political situation in Myanmar. The peaceful march started in the campus of Dili University and finished outside the Chinese embassy. It remained calm throughout.
